FIrst, how do I establish proof of identity?

Provide one of the following as proof of identity if it is current, valid and contains your photo and an expiration date:

To prove your residence, one of the following items may be used if it contains your name and current address:

Residential lease,

Property tax statement,

Utility bill,

Bank statement,

Paycheck,

Government check, or

Other government document.

What if I don't have valid identification?

If you do not have proof of identity and residence, a registered voter in the precinct may attest to your identity and residence. Both you and the attester will be required to sign an oath swearing the statements being made are true. Falsely attesting or being attested for is a class "D" felony.

If you do not have proof of identity and residence and do not have anyone who can attest to your identity and residence, you will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot.

What happens after Election Day?

All voters who registered to vote on Election Day will be sent a notice by mail. If this notice is returned as undeliverable, a forwardable notice will be mailed to the voter. If a response is not received to that notice within 14 days, the county attorney and secretary of state will be notified for investigation and possible prosecution.
